6 Latin Hypercube Sampling The range (0; ) of PDF Φ(Y i ) of each random variable Y i is divided into N non-overlapping intervals of equal probability /N (McKay et al Iman & Conover 980, Iman & Shortencarier 984). The centroids are selected randomly based on random permutations of integers. Every interval of each variable is used only once during the simulation process. variable simulation 6

PURE BENDING. If a simply supported beam carries two point loads of 10 kn as shown in the following figure, pure bending occurs at segment BC.

PURE BENDING. If a simply supported beam carries two point loads of 10 kn as shown in the following figure, pure bending occurs at segment BC. BENDING STRESS The effect of a bending moment applied to a cross-section of a beam is to induce a state of stress across that section. These stresses are known as bending stresses and they act normally
